Why would some random person in Dallas be breaking news about school children in Philadelphia?
You realize this is almost certainly fake, right?

Tech Bros financed this administration. There won’t be any federal oversight of AI until 2029 at the earliest. It’ll be too late by then.
We voted for this and have no one to blame but ourselves.

That's the only article I found that mentions the rape, and it looks sketchy as shite
It also says she was raped in 2022 and is currently 25 years old. Why would a 21 year old be in some state youth facility?

You just don't know how to negotiate. Drawing a line in the sand, then moving that line because you want to, is masterful negotiation. You can't lose if what you're doing was the plan all along!
You gotta remember to never actually articulate the plan ahead of time so that whatever happens, that was the plan all along!
I remember the 2016 election where Trump said that he had a plan to end the war in Afghanistan. When they asked him what the plan was he said it was a secret plan and couldn’t tell anyone. My four-year old is a better liar than that :lol:
UT has always spent more on its recruiting budget because Tennessee doesn’t have the high school talent of other SEC states. For a long time it was UT and ND recruiting heavily nationwide

Rubio was right. That deal should never have been made.
The JCPOA was designed to dramatically reduce Iran’s enriched uranium and stop further enrichment.
The IAEA confirmed that Iran was compliance when Trump decided to unilaterally pull out of the agreement. No more enrichment and Iran doesn’t get a nuke.
Obama negotiated an imperfect agreement that stopped Iranian movement towards being a nuclear power. Trump tore that up and is no attempting regime change with a new war.

That's actually a great question. I don't know how it has evolved with the passage of time and communication methods. I suspect those discussions are taking place right now. I don't think Turkey could sit back and say "nah, we're good" and stop it.
Actually Turkey can. An attacked member of NATO needs to invoke article 5 to require a unified military response. If a NATO member is attacked and doesn’t want a NATO response they can simply not invoke

Depends on where you’re at. We bought our current house in the summer of 22 and a house on our street sold recently at double the price per square feet

When you QB conversation centers around JJ McCarthy, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Carson Wentz, Tua and Kirk Cousins…you are absolutely fricked!
Their QB room last year was McCarthy, Wentz, and an undrafted rookie. All started multiple games. And they went 9-8 and were a play away from winning the NFC North. Probably the best division in football.
The Vikings with 2nd year McCarthy, Murray/Smith, and X at QB isn’t fricked. I’m willing to bet you didn’t actually watch the Vikings last year
quote:
Murray is terrible. He was benched for Jacoby fricking Brissett. JJ is terrible. The roster outside of QB is very good.
The Vikings oline isn’t good and wasn’t helped with injuries last year. They didn’t sign Darnold to save money to try to improve it, but it didn’t seem to work. And with all the injuries they were a single play away from winning their division.
Geno Smith or Murray would definitely be an upgrade at QB2 over Carson Wentz. With better injury luck they are probably the best team in the NFC North

Pre kids is just use the box. But now with small children I’m already using a cutting board for fruits and veggies so I use that for the pizza too

Maybe. Maybe not this time. The Iranian people are certainly tired of their captors' rule, hence the massive protests with millions marching the streets.
Oh I agree 100% that the current Iranian population doesn’t support the current regime. It’s such a young country that is very pro-western. People have been talking about Iranian revolution for a while.
My massive concern is how the hell the Iranian people could retake the government? I just see a scenario where the people of Tehran retake control and one of the many generals or ayatollahs consolidate military power and retake it. In the process so many people die
Are we putting troops on the ground to support an actual revolution? If not how do the Iranian revolutions stand up to the actual military?

Yeah, the events today will likely be way less important than people think. The Iranian leader was late 80s and probably had cancer. He was a dead man walking anyway.
Most likely scenario is that the US agrees with another general to be leader and he promises not to pursue nuclear weapons. The we find out in 5 years they are still pursuing nuclear weapons in a more secretive bunker and it starts all over again

They have had highly enriched uranium before, during, and after the JCPOA
The fact that they had enriched uranium is why the JCPOA was signed in the first place :lol:
It was designed to stop further enrichment. And it did while it was in effect. Then we voluntarily left the agreement and enrichment started back up again. Leaving the JCPOA was a dipshit move

IAEA disagrees with you. Consistently reporting that they produce highly enriched uranium that has no use in power plants. Im sure they just have that stockpile for their cheerios.
This was years after Trump pulled us out of the JCPOA with Iran.

Dort honestly might be dirtier than Draymond. Sure Dray might choke someone out or whatever but he’s not going after the legs of players fresh off of injury.
Draymond plays physically, gets too emotional, and isn’t able to control his emotions. He acts like a toddler.
Dort knew exactly what he was doing. He walked over to Joker intending to reinjure him.

This is a country that has been funding terror attacks against the US for decades. I’ll agree boots on the ground is a different story.

In essence Trump will agree to Antrhopic's terms, just with open AI instead, cause Hegseth is such a clown he bluffed and can’t back down but in essence they will?
Basically. The pentagon wanted Anthropic to back down and give in. But they didn’t. So the pentagon dropped the most advanced AI for a lesser model with the same standards.
Hegseth was embarrassed and now the pentagon is downgrading for no reason :lol:
